[HP] Billy Connolly = Xenophilius Lovegood?
http://www.pr-inside.com/connolly-lined-up-for-potter-r223710.htm
Scottish comedian BILLY CONNOLLY has been lined up to play a wizard in the final installment of the HARRY POTTER movies, according to reports.
The 64-year-old star has allegedly been earmarked for the role of Zenophilous Lovegood, the father of Potter's pal Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows.
The elder Lovegood is described as a "simple and brave" wizard, with "shoulder length white hair the texture of candy floss." A source tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror, "Billy is the perfect actor for the role."
I think I only remember Billy Connolly from Head of the Class.

Boondock Saints! That movies so fuckin' awesome lol... He's in Lemminy Snickets Series of Unfortunate Events too... love the part with the baby and the big snake. I'd say he'll work well for that as Luna's dad :)

/agree Eve - Boondock Saints is indeed teh awesome. I haven't seen LSSoUE...man that's still a mouthful...I think that would give more of an indication of how he'd do in the HP movie.
